Mission - Survive the LongestBought to you by the Sir. Ricco Tournament Foundation

I was thinking about new tournament ideas, and this one came to me. This tournament is not about winning but surviving the longest. I am keeping it small the see how it goes.

Here is how it will play:The game will have 16 players. Each the player will be randomly matched up in 1 vs. 1 game. (You could face the same player 2, 3, or even 4 weeks in a row. Not very likely however.) The player that loses the quickest (the least number of rounds) is eliminated. Now the winner of that match gets a week off (only when there is an odd amount of players). Week 2 will play the same as week 1 except one player gets to sit out. All odd weeks play the same (week 1, 3, 5, and ect.) and all even weeks will play the same (week 2, 4, 6, and ect.). Remember, itï¿½s not about winning but surviving the longest.

Also, it becomes important to watch other games in the tournament. once someone goes out for the 'tournament round', you just have to last to a later 'game round' than them. So a certain degree of hazardous play becomes acceptable.

I think this is going to turn into a tournament of bogging down and defensive tactics... but what the heck, why not? I'm in.

I'd suspect this needs to be held on either the SMALLEST possible map (Doodle earth) or the largest, for bonuses (world 2.1, I think)...
